Trivia

The India vs England 5th ODI at Cuttack (which India later won) was being shown on the TV sets inside the fishing yard and the Leopold café in the movie. The English team left the country immediately after the attacks, thus abandoning the 6th and the 7th ODI in the 7 match series.

Goofs

The cricket match that was being aired on the TV in the Leopold café showed Yuvraj Singh hitting a sixer off Stuart Broad's delivery in the first shot when the terrorists had not yet reached the café. However, in the next shot of the TV, just before the firing by the terrorists began, Sehwag is shown hitting a boundary off Stuart Broad's delivery during his opening partnership with Sachin Tendulkar. Yuvraj Singh had not yet even arrived at the crease. The match being shown on TV is the India vs England 5th ODI being played in Cuttack while the 26/11 attacks were tacking place.

One of the best film on terrorism

'The Attacks of 26/11' - is very good featured movie, in my opinion. I definitely recommend this movie to every youth or if you like Ram's movie. i really liked the scene of this movie where 'Joint Commissioner of Police' - Nana Patekar explained the meaning of Jihad for those who as Kasab.

Actually salient Hindi movie. this is a Hindi crime-thriller film, based on the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Directed by Ram Gopal Varma and Sanjeev Jaiswal who plays the role of terrorist Ajmal Kasab.

We get to know the extent to which Kasab is brain-washed and given a falsified understanding of Islam in the name of Jihad. Nana's wondrous reactions during this episode are marked. Such scenes show the class that RGV is capable of, even though he has been aided by the performances of Nana and Sanjeev Jaiswal as Kasab. Though the characterization of the terrorists is pretty hollow with just black shades written all over them, Sanjeev is authentic as the evil incarnate Kasab who realizes his foibles as he is finally hung on 21st November 2012.
